Does anyone know a decent AUDI TDI mechanic

Post by ArthurMbambo »

Been googloing :type: and asking around , :crazy: . Can anyone recommend a good place i can have my TDI looked at I'm in Woodmead.

If I'm posting this in wrong section apologies in advance.
Previous Cars Golf Mk1, E36 328, Alfa Romeo 156 Selespeed, Alfa Romeo 2ltr Manual 156
Current cars Audi A4 B6 1.9tdi, Chevrolet Captiva 2.4( aka The guzzler)

If you can't drive it like you stole it don't buy it. Life is too short to buy boring cars or worse trophy cars you won't drive.
